High-Temperature Hardness of Chemically Vapor-Deposited Diamond
Chicago
Abstract
The hardness of chemically vapor-deposited diamond is examined at elevated temperatures. Diamond films of 400-μm thickness are grown on silicon substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with subsequent removal of the substrate by chemical etching. Vickers hardness measurements were performed in the temperature range of 500°–950°C in an inert gas environment and under 7-N load. A 30% reduction in hardness from the room-temperature value is observed above 800°C.
